Reviews

The earlier collection International Education: Principles and Practice (1998), was a seminal work in the field, and this book follows in that tradition. The book as a whole is practitioner oriented... but also contains some very sophisticated and interesting theoretical work. Highly recommended for professionals, researchers, and practitioners. -- CHOICE
